Homeless to Homeowner

📖 The story

A park bench. A pocket with nothing in it. A long, cold road to a front door of your own. This is rags-to-riches stripped to the bone — no lot, no shelter, no skills, just a Sim and the will to climb off the street.

💝 The goal

Go from homeless with no shelter to owning a **fully furnished home worth §60,000+**.

🎀 Packs required

🏡 Setup

🚀 Getting started

• Create one Sim with nothing. Move onto a public-feeling or empty lot with no build, and zero out funds:

⌨️ Cheats to type

📋 General rules

• No money cheats after the §0 start.
• Earn with your own household only.
• No gifts or transfers.

✨ Specific rules

• Begin with no bed, no walls and no roof. Sleep on public benches, eat from the cheapest sources, wash in gym/public bathrooms.
• Build up only from earned income, one item at a time.
• Buying or moving into a home before you've earned it is a fail.

✅ What you can do

• Sleep on park benches and use public toilets, showers and gyms while homeless.
• Eat cheaply at public venues; earn from any self-employment.
• Use `bb.moveobjects` once you're building.

⛔ What you can't do

• No owned lot or shelter at the start — truly homeless.
• No money cheats; no gifts or transfers.
• No moving straight into a furnished home.

🎮 If you don't own the packs

Already base-game. City Living apartments and Seasons weather add flavour and stakes but aren't required — public venues for needs are all base-game.

💡 Strategy tips

• Public spaces are your early lifeline: gyms for showers, libraries for skill-building and computers, parks for free food events.
• Collecting and busking-style skills (guitar, painting on a cheap easel once you can afford one) get the first Simoleons flowing.
• Bank toward a single bed and a tent/roof before anything else — restored energy multiplies everything else you can do.

🔥 Want it harder?

• Spend your first full week with no built shelter at all before you may place a single wall.
• Winter-start in Seasons, so exposure is genuinely dangerous.

🏆 Scoring

Track *days spent fully homeless* before placing your first wall; a longer street phase is a harder, higher-scoring run.

🎭 Variations

The *Homeless Family* version: a parent and child must survive the street together. ---
